Canadian Businesses Cancel US Trips Amid Annexation Fears and Border Crackdown
Reports of Canadians detained at the U.S. border have caused a significant drop in corporate travel to the United States. Cancellations, impacting various sectors, extend into 2027 and affect conferences, business trips, and even employee company events. While some companies proceed with pre-planned events despite employee reluctance, the overall decrease in travel reflects broader anxieties stemming from U.S. political climate and border policies. This downturn is evident in both air and car travel statistics, although corporate bookings have begun to stabilize as essential business needs persist.
